"Pressing the enter key within free-form RPG now intelligently splits the line and repositions the cursor."
So RDi will finally work like virtually every over app in the world? That's going to take a heck of a lot of getting used to.

Exciting news!
I went to the blog post, but I didn't see a list of enhancements and bug fixes.
Do we need to wait on that info?
I myself like the announcement letters. Here is 9.6:

For the archives:
Rational Developer for i, V9.6 delivers significant new capabilities:
Rational Developer for i, V9.6 is now compatible with Eclipse 4.6, providing new base functionality and better integration with other modern application development tools.
Error reporting is enhanced to use annotations that highlight the columns within the line that have caused compile errors. This location information is maintained even as lines are added and deleted from the source. As the cursor hovers over an error, the message appears along with a link to second-level help.
Hovering over variables now shows the containing data structure or external file and record and also any other contributors to the definition of this field and enable you to hyperlink to them.
The hovers are enhanced to show the associated documentation for the given RPG declaration, encouraging better comments as they are even more useful with greater visibility. Any unused declarations can now optionally be flagged within the source.
Pressing the enter key within free-form RPG now intelligently splits the line and repositions the cursor.
The building of i projects can now be invoked with a convenient shortcut. You can conveniently set the IBM i connection and library for all the selected i projects in one action.
Rational Developer for i, V9.6 ships with the current version of Access Client Solutions and the Java™ Toolbox.
RPG and COBOL + Modernization Tools, Java Edition now supports IBM WebSphere® Application Server, V9.
The 9.6 Fix list isn't posted yet, but I suspect it will go here when it
does:
